The Story
Rear Brake Kit for BMW 740i, 740iL, 840Ci, 850Ci, 850CSi, 850i
Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-31156, is a rear disc brake kit built for select BMW applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete rear brake service on supported 1991-2001 BMW models.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors, ceramic pads, and hardware
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-packed rotors ready for installation without oil removal
- Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter braking
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
- Part number 4512-31156 for rear brake service applications
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses G3000/G11H18 cast iron and is machined to tight tolerances to match OE-style durability and stability. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional machining supports even pad contact during break-in. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for consistent friction and are assembled with NVH-focused shims for quieter operation. This rear brake kit is a practical choice for BMW 740i, BMW 740iL, BMW 840Ci, BMW 850Ci, BMW 850CSi, and BMW 850i rear brake replacement work.
What It Helps Address
- Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven braking feel caused by worn rotor finish
- Reduced stopping performance from aged rear brake components
- Caliper movement issues related to corroded or weakened hardware
Installation Notes
Fits 1991-2001 BMW 740i, rear; 1995-2001 BMW 740iL, rear; 1994-1997 BMW 840Ci, rear; 1994-1997 BMW 850Ci, rear; 1994-1995 BMW 850CSi, rear; 1991-1992 BMW 850i, rear. For 1993 BMW 850Ci, verify production date: vehicle production date from 8/93 or to 7/93. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Clean the hub before rotor installation, confirm pad and hardware seating, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that the rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance where applicable, and the brake pads are post-cured and scorched to support stable friction performance from the first stop. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
